Really shocked that all you can get at Fenway is Sam Adams and Harpoon. That can’t be right, can it? And don’t give me “well, it’s local and local dominates.” Busch Stadium in the most single-beer dominated town in the country, and it has a bigger selection.

And by the way: why hasn’t generic beer, like that pictured to the right, made a comeback yet? I can’t imagine that hipsters wouldn’t drink that stuff up like crazy. It’s the cardigan sweater, old fashioned camera and complicated glasses of the beer drinking world.

Now that you mention it. The Anaheim list Is missing quite a few. They like most have Sierra, Sam Adams, and Anchor. You can also get the usual suspects. Stella, Heineken, Guiness, ect. All on tap obviously.

Russian River is amazing stuff. But I can drink Anchor, Lagunitis or Sierra Nevada all day too so no complaints about AT&Ts selection here except that I can buy a sixer and have change back from the Safeway a block away for what I pay for one 16 oz inside the park.

I missed the release on Pliny the Younger this year. Soooo pissed. Alas, I drowned my sorrows with some Pliny the Elder. Love that stuff!!!

I was really hoping the article was going to point out something I’d missed at Fenway. I mean, I can get by on Harpoon and Sam — hell of a lot better than Bud, at least — but they’re never my first choice. Oh well.

And both breweries, by the way, have some great stuff — Harpoon’s Leviathan imperial IPA is very comparable to a Dogfish 90, for example — but they’re all smaller batch stuff that you’re unlikely to find on tap anywhere. It’s the high volume stuff that’s sadly just meh.

I like beer. No wait, I love beer but when I’m at the ballpark I usually have only one. Maybe two if its super hot out. That said I am quite happy with Miller Lite. Why fix something if it isn’t broken?

I almost forgot. I absolutely love the photo with this post. No Name Beer! You youngins probably don’t remember that brand but I clearly remember my uncle drinking that stuff years ago. Cool nostalgia moment for me.

I worked at the brewery where they made generic beer which was actually F

I worked at the brewery where thay made that beer and it was actually Falstaff Beer with the generic label on it. was all they had 1 weekend at the employee beer store so took 2 cases and went to time trials at the indy track where everyone made fun of it. had the last laugh when I sold a six pack to 2 of the jokers who had laughed at me earlier after thiers was gone for the price I paid for the 2 cases! those were the good old days.

What really annoys me about people thinking Blue Moon is a craft beer is that some of the best craft beers in the country are made in the Denver area. Besides Belgium Brewery only being a couple of hours away, in the Denver area you have Oskar Blues, Boulder Brewing, Avery, Lefthand, etc. Colorado is one of the best craft beer scenes in the US yet because a big corporation tells you something is craft beer because they make a little less of it than Coors it’s the “definition”. Nice. The reason Blue Moon is the “craft” beer at Coors is because of the name on the stadium, pure and simple.

The issue with this list seems that it only has the brewer, and not the varieties. A stadium could list only 1 craft brewer even though they may provide a lot of beers. Then there’s a situation like Leinenkugel’s, who is a craft brewer that missed this list because they were recently acquired by MillerCoors. Unless they’re not cool to hipsters anymore because they “sold out.” It still tastes the same.

I had a Hamm’s in Westport (KC) about 6 years ago, and haven’t seen it since. My Dad was telling me about the cartoon bear that used to be on TV, and that it used to be a lot more popular than it is now.

So, of course I Youtubed a bunch of Hamm’s TV ads. Those are awesome.

Hamm’s– The Beer Refreshing. They also made some of the best bar lights and clocks you’ll ever see

Someone with the Phillies must be some kind of beer lover because the selection at Bright House Field — home to the Clearwater Threshers, the Phillies’ FSL affiliate — smokes the Trop’s: Cigar City, Victory and Dogfish Head on tap, several solid to excellent beers in bottles. (Nicer ballpark than the Trop, too.)
